Mi Fang proposed building cities and strengthening the two cities of Jiangling and Changsha. In fact, it was not reinforcement, but the construction of a new city adjacent to the original old city.
Guan Lin suddenly recalled it.
If the original trajectory of history is followed, after his father Guan Yu died, he gained many identities, such as... he was the "Saint Lord Guandi", one of the "Four Protectors" of Taoism, and the "God of Martial Finance";
In the Tang Dynasty, before Guan Yu was a god in Taoism, Buddhism had already included Guan Yu in it, and he was named "Jialan Bodhisattva"!
He is called "Xuan Ling Gao God" in Baodao;
In the Song Dynasty, he was named the "Spiritual King" and the righteous and brave King Wu'an!
During the reign of Emperor Shenzong of the Ming Dynasty, he was promoted to the title of "Emperor of the Loyalty and Righteousness of Xietian Protector of the Country" and "Emperor of the Three Realms Conquering Demons, Shenwei Yuanzhen Tianzun Guan Shengdijun."
besides.
He is also a barber and the ancestor worshiped by the mysterious organization;
It is the God of Wealth that the businessman burns three sticks of incense every day...to pay homage to.
Of course, businessmen can often tell a vague story about the identity of this God of Wealth when worshiping him.
Some people say that Guan Gong was very good at financial management and accounting business during his lifetime.
He once established the "note-taking method" and invented the "daily clearing book".
He is the originator of “accounting”;
Others say that loyalty and trust are the most important thing for businessmen when discussing business, and Guan Gong has both integrity and loyalty, so he is respected;
There are even businessmen who say that after the death of Guan Gong, the true god often returned to help in the battle and helped the Shu Han to win.
Businessmen just hope that one day when their business suffers a setback, they can be like Guan Gong and make a comeback and strive for final success.
The power of faith is infinite, and faith in Guan Gong has been passed down from ancient times to today.
Worship You Sheng.
Can…
What Guan Lin thought of was not the "names" in these myths, nor was it the "Martial Saint" or the "God of Wealth".
But another one, Dad’s little-known title—Infrastructure Maniac!
That's right, in future generations we will engage in "infrastructure" and "projects"...
A necessary ceremony before "the construction site starts" is to pay homage to Guan Gong.
As for the reason, it is because of the demarcation of the Hunan River in history.
Guan Yu lost the three counties of Changsha, Guiyang, and Jiangxia and suffered a hidden loss, so... he took precautions against Sun Quan and built Jiangling City into a city of iron barrels.
——The so-called "Jianling Fucheng, the prefecture city originally had a middle separation, with the old city in the north and the one built by Guan Yu in the south."
Guan Lin didn't know exactly how it was made.
However, Guan Lin remembered it very clearly.
In the second year of Huang Wu, it was the fourth year after Guan Yu defeated Maicheng.
Sun Quan, who received the "big gift package" from Jiangling, faced a challenge.
That was in the face of the attack by Cao Zhen, Xia Houshang, Zhang He and others sent by Wei State. At that time, Wei Emperor Cao Pi even went to Wancheng to garrison in person to provide assistance.
As expected, Sun Quan's commanding ability was brought into full play, and all the field armies sent to support were destroyed.
Only Zhu Ran's lone army was left to garrison Jiangling.
The soldiers in the city also suffered from massive edema due to hunger, and only 5,000 of them were able to move.
On the contrary, Cao Zhen raised mountains of earth, dug tunnels, and built archery carts. Arrows rained down like this. He fought like this for half a year without being able to defeat them, and retreated in despair.
Zhu Ran became "famous in the empire" after this war...
Of course, Zhu Ran's command was credited for this, but in fact, the final decisive factor was the city defense, which was the unique Jiangling city defense built by Guan Yu.
Even when Lu Meng was crossing the river in white, Cao Cao sent someone to tell Guan Yu the news, saying that Soochow was planning to attack Jiangling.
But Guan Yu was as arrogant as ever.
——"I built this city, he can't conquer it!"
Of course, the final result was that Mi Fang fell.
Guan Yu never expected this!
Even Sun Quan and Lü Meng did not expect that the protection would not be complete.
As for...how strong is the defense of Jiangling City?
The core is that Guan Yu built a new city to the south of the original old city of Jiangling.
Jiangling City faces rivers on both sides and cannot be used as the main attack direction.
Once the new city was built, it was equivalent to only attacking the city from the south and west. The defenders of Jiangling City did not need to defend four sides, but only needed to defend two sides, to be precise, the new city side and the old city side.
In this way, the garrison's forces were highly concentrated.
Because there is a passage connecting the new city and the old city.
This is equivalent to saying that if the enemy army breaks through the new city from the south, Guan Yu can still retreat to the old city and continue to resist. If he defeats the old city from the west, he can still retreat to the new city.
In this way, Jiangling City, which was already high in the city and deep in the river, had to be conquered twice if it wanted to conquer it.
Someone will definitely suggest that we can fight from the middle channel.
That's what Cao Zhen thought.
As a result, I was almost squeezed to death by both sides.
so…
Guan Lin can come to a conclusion.
This city had to be built, not only Jiangling City had to be built like this, but Changsha, with its back to the Xiang River, was in a similar situation to Jiangling City, so it also had to be built like this.
And once the old and new cities are built, considering Mi Fang's current attitude towards Sun Quan.
As long as he doesn't open the city and surrender.
So... even if a hundred Sun Shiwan or ten Lu Meng came to attack Jiangling City, they would still be in trouble.
Of course, Guan Lin had more than just these thoughts.
He thought about it, Huang Chengyan's "Mianshui" villa on the outskirts of the west city, now a vital "munitions factory", had no solid city wall protection and was always "wandering" outside. It was not a problem.
Don't worry, Sun Quan will really sneak over one day in the future.
We couldn't defeat Jiangling, but we wiped out the "Mianshui" villa. Wouldn't that be a loss of blood?
If this were to happen, Guan Lin's mentality would collapse.
so…
Guan Lin thought about strengthening the city...no, building a new city. He could afford the money!
But, the money is the money, and as the "father of Party A" who contributes the money, why don't you have a good talk with your father?
Which one is older, the father? Or is it the 'father of Party A'? This is not a matter of gesticulation.
According to Guan Lin's idea.
This new city serves as a military fortress, dad can garrison troops!
But the place inside is so big, it’s all land…
They are all houses and factories. It is very likely that businesses, private schools, and troubles will appear in the future. These are all his, Guan Lin's.
For a moment, Guan Lin felt like a ball of fire in his heart, burning quickly.
In my previous life, I might not be able to buy a sanitary napkin in a certain first-tier city after working all my life...
Suddenly he felt that he had the opportunity to own such a large piece of land!
Ah no, not a piece of land, but a city!
How vast is this? So...how can Guan Lin not be excited?
How can we not gear up?
——"Dad, dad, you are a poor man! In these two new cities, if you don't rely on your child as the 'father of Party A', who will you rely on?"
——"This time, the baby will defeat you!"
Thoughts on this…
Guan Lin added with a smile.
"Uncle Zifang? How big is the difference in building a city?"
"I just have 450,000 gold over there, and I'm worried about how to spend it."
"Uncle Zifang, this money...should be enough to build two new cities, right?!"
Following Guan Lin's words, he blurted out.
